"Mani is a clockwork god of machinery. Those faithful to Mani recieve[sic] immense knowledge of machines and learn a way to use them effectively." -Game

A down to earth kind of guy.

<Mani> is most useful for the awesome Winchester Premium. He has the worst god pet. The gem stone can be used on empty containers to re-lock and fill them. However, since the containers usually are transmuted to material boxes this trick is mostly useful for raising lockpicking skill. Mani's Decomposition certainly isn't worth sticking with Mani for; get the gem and shotgun then switch to someone more useful. Mani is somewhat harder than Lulwy for gaining favor, as guns are not as common on NPCs one can trade with. However, the presence of the Cyber Dome (altar and a shopkeeper that specifically deals in firearms) means that the richer adventurers can easily raise favor very quickly. Palmia will also work to a lesser degree. If you can move while carrying an altar its worthwhile to bring it to the Cyber Dome and offer the many machinery items from the floor there (you don't need to pickpocket them first).

Gem stone of Mani: Converts an item or piece of equipment into a seemingly random item or piece of equipment of the same type; in essence, an infinitely reusable alchemy rod. 24 hours must pass for it to become available for use after invoking it, regardless of whether an item was targeted or not.

He can be recruited with an Astral Light Pen if the conditions listed in the page are met, but is subject to the God recruiting penalty. When used as a pet, he will not spawn in his second form when slain.
